Lies of P

• There's no cost to assembling/disassembling weapons, so feel free to experiment.

• Handles determine the move set and stat scaling while the blades affect damage, reach, swing speed, and guard regain.

• The game doesn't explain that your blade choice also affects how much damage you do to enemy weapons (via perfect blocking). Larger blades will break enemy weapons considerably faster than smaller blades.

• It's possible to mismatch the blade and handle, which incurs a damage dealt penalty. In general, slashy blades go on slashy handles and stabby blades go with stabby handles. You can see this indicated in the menu when you are assembling.

• You will eventually unlock the ability to re-spec your stats, P-Organs, and legion arms (though it unlocks after the halfway point).
